the sky was on fire at first sight of the sun

what kind of lonely are you
to willingly be abused?

is that the monogamy you’re used to?
to love through the thick and thin
the black and blue of my new hue

did you hope to paralyze my mind
to hold onto someone for your lifetime?

i did all the things i said i’d never do
had commitment issues to everyone but you
the seasons change like my bad habits
i’m setting free what held me back then
and you can’t say the same

i needed love not ambivalence
i needed trust not questioning
so take your time to take time for me
cause i can’t be your everything

we can’t change what has been done
only change what is to come
i’ll care for you til the earth turns over
til the sun burns out — our promises of forever
you and i were lovespelt and drunk on it

hooked on a singular duality
wrecked by a rude awakening
to meet a truer reality

the sky was on fire at first sight of the sun
